The Purple Ronnie verses, deploying a gentle form of humor, have led to . . . him being named as Britain's most successful living poet. --The Independent Whether he's sporty or lazy, cool or embarrassing, good around the house or just always hiding in the bathroom, one thing is for sure--there's no one quite like your dad! This little book celebrates everything that's great about dads--and everything that's sometimes not quite so great.

About the Author

Purple Ronnie (the brainchild of poet and philosopher Giles Andreae) has earned Giles recognition as the U.K.'s top-selling living poet and an icon of contemporary popular culture. Purple Ronnie pairs his humorous black-and-white illustration style with funny, charming thoughts.

Purple Ronnie is the alter ego of Eton- and Oxford-educated Giles Andreae. Philosopher, poet, artist, and all-around interesting fellow, Giles is also the creator of the successful Edward Monkton line of cards, books, and merchandise. He lives in Notting Hill, London.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice little book to show a little appreciation to your mum.

This book is a nice little book to give to a mum, to show a little appreciation for all those things your mum does, which we probably take for granted!
It's Purple Ronnie style! so be warned!

My mum liked it :)

The only danger is "Mum's should be pampered once in a while" may result in a bill for a spa day!

Enjoy
